Deer on hill with back positioned uphill ... we're about ready to start.
The meat will go into the `contractor grade' plastic bag on the the right.
Though it may not look like it - we have already cleared a lot of the weeds
and other stuff - to give us room to work. |

Hide peeled down one side. We have already taken out the backstrap on this
side.
Note damaged meat in hind quarter. Bullet went through both rear
quarters but missed bones. We will remove and discard (or simply
leave) the muscle group
`blasted' by the bullet exit (maybe 3-5 lbs each side, max.), and then will
be working with good meat all around.

Here we're working on a mule deer buck. We have removed the backstrap,
neck meat, flank meat, and we have taken the meat off the front shoulder and
leg. Meatless leg bone / shoulder blade is on ground. If we take only the meat
off the leg/shoulder, we don't even need to take the leg apart at
elbow/knee. Why carry out what will go in the garbage can? |

This is not my favorite picture of me ... but I have included it because I
have an entire deer on my back, in a large day pack - or more correctly -
only the meat from an entire deer. After working on my deer for about
an hour - I was able to load up and head back to the rig - while my partner
kept hunting. |
